Professionally Installed One-Way Bat Valve
Bat Season Matters—Especially June to August
During maternity season, juvenile bats can’t fly. Premature sealing can trap pups inside your home.
We schedule exclusions with care and in compliance with DNR and federal guidance.

At Stellar Wildlife Solutions, we follow a thorough and humane approach to safely remove bats and prevent future entry—all in compliance with Minnesota DNR guidelines.
Full Home Inspection & Entry Point Detection
We inspect the home to identify both active and potential areas bats may be using to enter.
Installation of One-Way Bat Valves
We install professional-grade bat valves that allow any remaining bats to exit the structure on their own—without being able to re-enter.
Monitoring Period (7–10 Days)
Bat valves remain in place for approximately 7 to 10 days. During this time, we monitor activity to ensure.
Final Exterior Inspection
Before removing the bat valves, we conduct a detailed exterior inspection to confirm there are no signs of ongoing activity and that re-entry points have not developed.

After valve removal, we check the attic for droppings or contamination and offer recommendations for cleanup if needed.

Worried About Bats Inside Your Home?
If you believe bats may be present in your home, it’s important to remain calm and take the right steps. At Stellar Wildlife Solutions, we provide professional, humane, and DNR-compliant bat removal services that protect both you and Minnesota’s native bat populations.
If You've Found a Bat Indoors:
- Remain calm—bats are not aggressive and often enter homes by accident.
- Do not touch or chase the bat—bats can carry disease and should only be handled by trained professionals.
- Isolate the bat—close doors to contain it in one room.
- Do not flush the bat outside—if a bat is found in a room where someone was sleeping or around children or others who cannot confirm whether contact occurred, it should be safely captured and submitted for testing.
Why You Shouldn’t Let the Bat Go:
- Rabies risk exists even with no visible bite.
- If contact is suspected, the bat should be tested as soon as possible.
- We coordinate safe containment and proper submission through certified laboratories.
- Rabies testing is fast (1–2 business days) and critical in certain situations.
⚠️ Important: We are not licensed to give medical advice.
If you think someone may have been exposed to a bat, contact your local health department or physician to determine whether rabies testing or post-exposure treatment is recommended.
We’re here to assist with the safe, professional removal of bats and to help guide you through the next steps when situations like this occur.
